Bout time I found a place to listen on the radio In the past ive just had to wait for an hour after the game to get a report! Hopefully Everitt, Moles and some other senior players can push for selection!

 

[bulldogsman]

Thanks for that CrowdedHouse. Will be listening.

No Markovic or Tiller is interesting. Markovic I know was on the injury list, but does anybody know what's wrong with Tiller? Mulligan should be able to get his chance then.

Hopefully we can hear some reports on young Howard in the reserves too.

Actually we have Markovic down as a half-time guest. (he knowns most the commentary team from playing at Box Hill last year)

Very happy to see that.

 

[100action]

Williamstown win by 40 points, Wood, Moles, Reid and Roughead all played very well.

Roughead bog actually.

 

[Contador]

Commentary team gave Roughead, Wood and Moles votes

 

[Jack Harkaway]

Willi won.....

among the best were Roughead (BOG), Wood and Moles

Everitt kicked a couple.

Roughead bog actually.

That's most encouraging. Of course, they all had a bit to play for given the shabby performance of so many seniors last night.

Should make for some interesting discussions at MC this week.

 

[Rocco Jones]

Don't get me wrong because I rate Roughead highly and am pleased he was BOG today but what are Box Hill's ruck stocks like? The Hawks ruck depth have been ravaged by injury and lack of talent, so I can only imagine how crapola Box Hill's must be.

Remember Will owned VFL, I think people tend to forget the massive gap between the levels.

FWIW I think part timer as 2nd ruck > Roughead > Minson. Having 2 out and out ruckmen playing in the same side is modern footy suicide.

Great to see Ruff go so well. But for me the most exciting thing is seeing Reid in the best.

Reid, Ward and Picken in the same team is a very different prospect to DFA, eagleton and acker/stack/hill.

Toughness wins finals..........

 

[Some Idiot]

Addison hardly lacks toughness

Think the Hawks had Cam Pederson and Jordan Lisle in the ruck today. From what I saw (attended for most of the second half only), Roughead schooled them in the ruck and was very good around the ground.

Agreed, these three are our hardest nuts in the squad. I think having Ward out has been equivalent to Cats missing Selwood as he just generates so much ball for us at the stoppages.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

Did attend the game, but having been over from Tassie for the Hall of Fame dinner and flying back Sunday morning I had not had time to put my thoughts together until now.

When I arrived at the ground the reserves were close to 3/4 time.
Christian Howard seemed to struggle a little and I am hoping it is just match fitness. I note he was named in the best players but he needed to have been better early to justify that.

Tutt played Ok and shows good endeavour and run.

Prato looked ok in the ruck and certainly had the better of Hawks listed Lowden.


I was also disappointed to see Stephen Tiller walking around the ground and obviously not playing. Hope his injury/unavailability is not a swerious problem.

Everitt Lined up at CHF but also had an occasional ruck stint (Rocco will be pleased) and had a very good game. He marked well on the lead but also in contests. Unfortunately his kicking was below par missing 2 gettables from set shots inside 50. He also showed good run when playing in the back half in qtr 3, with at least one effort being Eagleton like in he ran forward got involved in the chain and went forward again. Actually combined well with Eagle on some attacking forays

Boumann Solid performer at CHB. Closing speed to spoil is good and never seems to try and mark in the contest. Still lacks in strength for rfeal body contests. Does mark ok in space and can use the ball, although he somtimes looks like Brian Lake has taught him too many dinky kicks.

Wood hardly noticeable in the first 3 qtrs playing back, but took the last by storm with 3 or 4 strong runs from half back setting up scoring chances. He just grabbed the ball and charged through with a few bounces. He had been caught once or twice earlier in the game, but seemed unstoppable in the last.

Callan In his first game in 6 weeks Timmy struggled early, but had a breakout last qtr including a nice hanger and goal. Really was the hard at it Timmy Callan of old at the end.

Jones Continues to show a lot of promise. Takes a good contested mark and puts himself in the game. Still has a bit to learn and may not really be ready to debut this year. Did go into the ruck occasionally and competed well.

Eagleton Eagle was a good contributor, gave run, got involved in contested possession, laid tackles and used the ball to create direct goals. Did even have a direct goal assist with a delivery to Little off his RIGHT foot.

Moles Was really involved around the packs and probably the best clearance player. Was busy, but did struggle with disposal a few times. Wins contested footy. In the best 3 on the day.

Hooper Struggled to get into the game but does try. Mostly played forward and does put pressure on the defenders.

Roughead Certainly had the better of the Box Hill ruckmen but was out muscled by smaller opponents on a few occasions. Box Hill used a couple of pinch hitters who were aggressive in the ruck contests and this allowed them to get the better of Roughy sometimes. Roughy does get down the backline to help and I like what I see. However, his performance was a long way behind that of Minson in the VFL games that I saw Will play.

Rose Played more time forward this week and was serviceable. Contributed but not an exciting effort.

Daniels Struggled to get involved and turned the ball over a couple of times early. Did improve as the game went on. Works hard, but appears to lack confidence sometimes, resulting in him maybe letting senior players take balls he should be getting.

Reid Did a few good things, but seemed to be off the ground more than anyone else. Seems to be still struggling with his fitness. He did snag a nice long goal, but needs to do more before he could be considered for senior selection.

Mulligan Played mostly at full back and was ok. Takes a nice mark, but does not seem to know what to do when he gets the ball.

So 13 listed players turned out for Willi seniors. The game was played largely at one end away from the grandstand and I may have missed some things.

The above is my observation only and I have not discussed the game with anyone. Others may disagree with my views, but the players worth consideration for promotion I would limit to Everitt, Moles, Eagleton and maybe Wood.

Thanks for the wrap Joe.
